GOVERN MENTs, STOCKS AND BONDS.
New YORK, Feb. l.-G0Vernment
bonds dull and steady.
Stocks exhibited much more animation
than for several days past, accompanied
! by sharp depression, which, however,
wa. in a great measure neu'ralized late
in the day. B fore the opening OF bust
ness advices were received Of the panic
upon the Paris bOurse and OF the heavy
selling by continental interests in the
London market. AT the opening London
houses sold heavy all of their SpecIalties,
anu the room traders, who
we're bearish almost to o man,
aided in producing depression.
The reports that the laborers' troubles
were aggravated and that to-day would
seriously affect the trunk lines, were also
used against the market. The opening
was decidedly weak, the declines from
Yesterdays closing figures ranging up to
pc cent, the latter in Louisville
and Nashville. The market was
active, feverish and somewhat
irregular in the early dealings and
while q few slight advances were made,
the pressure # stocks for sale soon
forced the list down, and before the end
of the first hour the declines were rang
ing close to per cent. This was followed
again by renewal OF the selling move
ments, and many stocks which mad resist
ed we'll the pressure of the first hour, gave
way in turn. Before noon, however, the
market became quiet and rather firm,
though the feverisnness was still notice
able and material recoveries were made
IN many STOCKS, especially Jersey Cen
trail, Lackawanna and Louisville and
Nashville. The improvement con-
tinued until the end of business,
the close being steady to firm. A great
majority of the stocks on the active list
are lower this evening, though good
proportion show practical advances.
Railroad bonds felt The effects of the
depression in shares, and w,re teverish
and generally weak in the forenoon. They
responded quickly to the improved feel
ing late in the day, however, and the early
losses we're generally regained, though
the final changes show fractional declines
